"Some of the cases might be brought to the attention of medical personnel, but not to the police or the authorities because [health workers] are not really trained in the issues and may not know it's illegal."

I'm not sure if it's legal in the US. I do think it's immoral, but that's hardly a good rubric to use for guessing if it's legal or not considering my record on those sorts of issues. :)
